Subject: What's happening?
I am a journalist on the London Daily newspaper *The Independent*,
and I am trying to discover whether this technology, like fax
machines, is being used for independent communication now that the
censors have clamped down on everything else.
Can people describe what is happening, and what they see?
Something similar was done on Compuserve during the Gulf War, by
subscribers who where in Israel and were able to describe Scud
missile attacks without censorship.

There is shooting near the American embassy and RSFSR state
building. Informer said (by phone) that he saw several victims
shot and killed under the tanks. there is fire near the RSFSR
building. Moscow, August 21, 1:15 am
Telecommunications played a role in this historic event. While CNN televised the coup,
it was not the images, but the words of men like Yeltsin that held sway for Russian
citizens. Within hours of Yeltsin's statement in defiance of the coup leaders, handbills
reproducing his statement papered the walls of the Moscow metro and Leningrad
houses.
Another one: On Friday, Feb. 26 1993 at 12:18 p.m., a bomb exploded in the World
Trade Center in New York City, U.S.A. Four minutes later, the Dow Jones News
Service flashed this headline: "NYC Fire Dept. Says Fire At 3 World Trade Center."
Then there is this Norwegian friend of mine, Svein Erik Dahl, photographer by
profession. His passion in life is playing bridge. Each night, he logs on to BPLive. Here,
he fights other enthusiasts of the green table until the early morning.
"...for many companies the information coming in from the outside is of far
more significance than the internal knowledge of staff." (Neil Infield,
Information World Review, England, November 1997.)
A resource for everybody!
